1990 Bollinger La Grande Annee

Expert Reviews

Gold-tinged color. Deep, maturing aromas of toffee, butterscotch, ginger and molasses. Fat and rich in the mouth, with excellent intensity; in the mature Bollinger style but far more successful than the bottling from the lower acid 1989 vintage. Thick with extract, and palate staining on the aftertaste. A main course Champagne.

It's amazingly good for the price - every time I drink it, I'm amazed it's priced under a hundred bucks.
